Tokyo-Ga has been called a film diary, but it might be more apt to call it a scrapbook. It is an assortment of images, clips, reflections, and interviews assembled by Wim Wenders during a trip to Tokyo. The impetus for the trip, as described by Wenders himself, is to see whether the Tokyo and by extension the Japan captured so precisely in the films of Yasujiro Ozu still exists. Wenders holds Ozu in the highest esteem: he describes the revered Japanese directors uvre as the closest thing to a «sacred treasure» in the cinema. (David Dalgleish)
